Cannot assign to a read-only property

Question

I'm trying to change the database and the tablename against a TTable component during run time, however this error keeps appearing at this line:

  E2129 Cannot assign to a read-only property

The code I am trying to use is as follows:

  tblDest.Database  := lvDestAlias;
  tblDest.TableName := lvDestAlias;

The variables in use are strings that have previously been initialised. So yeah if you could help in anyway I would appreciate it :)

Answer 1

your problem is in the Database property which is read-only, you must set the DatabaseName property instead.
